Former international Center Tori Halvorsen (183-C-88) had a great game in the last round for Ullern and that's her to receive a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 4.The 29-year old center had a double-double of 15 points and ten rebounds, while her team beat Ulriken (#4, 1-2) 63-53. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Ullern maintains the 3rd position in Norwegian Kvinneligaen. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost that single game earlier this season. Ullern will need more victories to improve their 2-1 record. Halvorsen has many years of experience at Ullern, through which she has constantly improved. The American University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Halvorsen is in league's top in points (7th best: 13.3ppg), rebounds (5th best: 8.7rpg) and averages solid 3.3bpg and 44.4% from behind 3-point line.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 24-year old forward Lise Breivik (181-F-93) of Ulriken. Breivik impressed basketball fans with 10 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Bad luck as Ulriken lost that game 53-63 to slightly higher-ranked Ullern (#3, 2-1). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Ulriken still maintains its place in the top 4 of the standings, even despite this loss. Her team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 1-2 record. Breivik is one of the most experienced players at Ulriken and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was another Ulriken's star - former international guard Anna Hammer (180-G-89). Hammer scored 20 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Despite Hammer's great performance Ulriken lost 53-63 to #3 ranked Ullern. But her team cannot count on just these two top stars as they also need help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The chances of Ulriken not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 2 games, recording just one victory. With bigger assistance of her teammates, Hammer could try to bring Ulriken's a little bit higher in the standings. Hammer has individually a great season in Norway. After only 2 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 16.5ppg (2nd best) and rebounds with 8.0rpg (7th best).

The Player of the week is chosen based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc.The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy.The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3* (REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4* (2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3* (2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3* (3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)

It's still too early stage of the Regular Season in Kvinneligaen, but even now we can clearly see the differece between stronger teams and outsiders. Ulriken can celebrate their first win this season after two consecutive losses. The victory is especially important as it came on the road game in Oslo, where they defeated Hoybraten (1-2) 51-47 on Saturday. Ulriken held Hoybraten to an opponent 18.7 percent shooting from the field compared to 34.6 percent accuracy of the winners. Ulriken... [read more]
